    This video was before MTV introduced music videos. The group was British and the name was very provocative as during their reign, people were just beginning to come out. There was a lot of controversy over whether their lead singer. Freddie Mercury was gay. The absolute musts after Bohemian Rhapsody: We Are the Champions, Under Pressure, Someone to Love, Another One Bites the Dust, and Radio Ga Ga.
    Bohemian Rhapsody is considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The record label didn’t want to release it because it was just shy of 6 minutes long. No radio station would ever play a song that long. Great music company prediction just like when Sony dropped PTX a week after winning The Sing-Off.
    The most iconic example of Queen is their 20 minute performance during Live Aide in 1985. It contains excerpts of many of their songs and demonstrates Freddie’s claim to being one of if not THE greatest showmen of all time. Freddie owned every audience when he preformed. He died of AIDS in 1991 at the age of 45. In the 80s an HIV diagnosis meant to start getting things in order because you had months to hopefully a few years to live. It was a death sentence.
    I’m glad you’re beginning your exploration of Queen because not knowing about them is like not knowing the Beatles or Michael Jackson.
    PTX received a big clap on the back when Brian May, guitarist for Queen, tagged the PTX version in his Twitter account. There could be no higher honor.

    Yes! Thank you for reacting to this so quickly. Obviously the performance speaks for itself. This band paved the way for experimentation in rock music and videos. The list is endless of the very best of the best guitar players who was determined to take a shot at playing the legendary guitar pieces from Bohemian Rhapsody. It's more than their name that suggests royalty. Every generation from the 70's on has discovered Queen and been awed by what they see and hear. Their us a whole string of UA-cam videos of choirs, workshops, people at conventions, large business weekends, you name it and they gather together to sing this iconic song. There are videos of giant crowds in stadiums singing this while waiting for a concert or sports event to begin. One of my hands down favorite videos is Somebody to Love live at Montreal 1981. Freddie's vocal runs are insane and it always brightens my day to watch it. Like Pentaholics, Queen fans are DEVOTED, enthusiastic and will eagerly share unlimited bits of history and trivia to help you understand what made the band so special. For me- I love Queen, I love PTX so it's a win, win situation. You react to either of them and I will be here ♥️

      Pentatonix did a great job. They have a lot of technology that makes it far easier to record something like Bohemian Rhapsody, they had unlimited tracks for overdubbing. The drums, piano and bass was played live in one take on this song, because Queen only had 24 tracks to use, that is difficult and something you not see today.

    One of my favorite things in this world is seeing people experience Freddie Mercury and/or Queen for the first time. I feel extremely blessed and spoiled to have been able to grow up listening to this group in the 70s and 80s, while Freddie was still with us. The best Queen is live Queen, especially their Live Aid performance. And that was Freddie on a BAD day, since he had health issues with his throat going on at the time. And here, 30 years beyond losing Freddie, he's still wowing people. I agree with one of the previous commenters here... if you go down the Queen/Freddie Mercury rabbit hole, you definitely will not regret it. I highly recommend it, seeing as you enjoyed this masterpiece so much.

    This group and this song, in particular, have been scrutinized, dissected, torn apart, and put back together again so many times, it is amazing the song has lasted this long. It was far too long of a piece for radio, not "rocky" enough for the "hippies" at that time, and contained far too many genres within a sing piece to be popular. Then along came the movie Wayne's World and everything changed. The popularity of this one song and of course, the group, took off to extreme proportions that no one could ever have imagined. I like your review because you enjoy the real part of the music that makes it what it is and that is how the sounds move around inside your head, back and forth, side to side, up and down.

    Welcome to the world of good music! Sadly, tho, you have one thing about Queen completely wrong. But first, let me say that I was a sophomore in high school in the mid 70’s when I first heard Queen on the radio, one of their pre-Bohemian Rhapsody hits called Killer Queen; check it out. And I have been an avid fan ever since. So many incredible Queen songs you should react to. Queen is hard to label cuz their songs fall into so many different categories. I bet you have heard Queen songs but you just don’t know that they’re Queen songs. Perhaps that was, in part, cuz Freddie Mercury could quite literally sing anything. He could make a Gregorian chant sound dramatic. The man had charisma and then some. And as great as they were in the studio, you gotta check out their live performances. I was lucky enough to see them in concert way back when and as great as the videos are, actually being there was at a whole different level. You knew you were watching something unique and time-bending. But even if you watch the videos of their live performances, you’ll see why Queen and Freddie still have billions of fans to this day. Now, back to what you got wrong. A minor point but worth mentioning, I think. None of the Queen band members had mullets. Nothing wrong with a mullet but I bet that the members of Queen had never even heard of a mullet. In that video, in their earlier years together, they all had shag haircuts, which were huge in the 70’s. Thanks for this reaction-loved it!

    1} For a lot of Queen music you should listen to the studio version and any live performance next. That is a chance to experience the difference that is Queen live and improving on what you find so mind blowing to begin with.
    2} They are multi-talented and the songs that Brian and Roger sing are gems in their own way, because of the out of this world vocals of Freddie you will find that either one of them could have been a lead vocalist on their own.
    3} Lace them up, because it's going to be a hell of a ride!

    Freddie gets up from the piano " lead singer is cold! " yes! The great Freddie Mercury ! I guess I just figured there was no one on this planet that didn't know Queen, and Freddie ! How can you live and never heard this song

    Queen is...incredible. a personal fave that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is Who Wants To Live Forever.
